This is because you don't have X, or it's not running. If the
redhat-config-whatever package is installed, it should either work as TUI or
possibly give a message that X needs to be running for that command to work.
I believe these were filed to help improve the error message a while back.
As for which packages you should get when doing a server install, that's a
different bug.
